Weather is looking a little dicey, but it's a good chance to learn some wet weather skills

My problem is; I don't fit in the 2 with a helmet on and the roof on...

Lets do this......

Good to catch up and meet some new faces today.

So we had a total of 5 MR2's on this damp day, not a bad turn out really considering it's a Friday and the weather was meek.
 

 
First session out, the SlushDub decided after just half a lap, the intercooler hose should no longer be apart of the intake path. Thanks to BEN77 for the spare hose clamp (PM your bank details, I'll send funds!)

 
The best place for a P Plater to be getting to know their car and their limits.

 
Red ones go faster!

 
Quick pano of our pits.

 
Ben found out what happens when you come into a corner too fast in the wet.... Lucky it wasn't Mt Nebo...

 
A man in dandism...

 
Graham also found his way off the track, but didn't bring half the field home...

 
Eric back in after a session of chasing Excels...

 
Goodbye head gasket!

 
Should have a bit of onboard video up tonight :)

What a fantastic day! I had a blast. 

I will admit, going on track with 30+ serious race cars is pretty daunting but I just kept checking my mirrors and let them overtake

I got the hang of it all after a while and managed to give some excel cup cars a run for their money, held it with them for a few corners but it was hard work!. I had a couple of big moments but only 1 off, so that was pretty successful.
 
Cant wait to do it again!
 

I didn't see what tyres the Excels had (Mark could tell you) but I'm sure they weren't street tyres.
 
Aaand you didn't have the demon camber they had.

What an incredible day! Will definitely do again! Those Excels are quick but we keep up in the straights!

Those excells are quick, raced some at lakeside thinking i was going to smash them all.. Doesnt happen!!

Hankooks z221 are the control tyre for the excel cup as far as i know.... those things have so much camber... what a great day out.... i lasted till the afternoon session when a moessler came out... got some footage driving in the drenching rain so gingerly its hard to beliveve i buried it before the main straight in the first session... lol... definately worth it... whens the next session?
